The people are fed up...

Over the last few days, Gauteng has been rocked by protests over housing and service delivery in what was segregated coloured areas. Yesterday saw Eldorado park became a sort of war zone between resident protesters and Police.

From early Tuesday morning, Ennerdale residents have also blockaded streets by burning tyres and setting up barricades at major intersections. They are not allowing any vehicle to drive in or out of the area. Some protesters even took to looting shops who have been accused of selling drugs to members of the community.

Residents are demanding affordable housing and have said that they will not back down until the mayor Herman Mashaba comes to address them. Take a look below at the violent and desperate scenes that played out on Monday in Eldorado park.

Tensions are still just as high today in Ennerdale, protestors told EWN reporters that they have no choice but to close schools while the township is in lockdown. Police have continuously looked to disperse protestors, again and again, however, the protestors regather, saying they are no longer accepting “empty promises” from local government.

“There’s no respect for us as residents! Our parents are peacefully standing here in front, they [police] start shooting! No warning to say that y’all are gona shoot! You don’t give a dam about us man!”
